Jaume Maspons

BBA 07

I graduated in 2007 from ESADE after spending one year in HEC Paris doing my double degree program. Eager for new international experiences I joined Société Générale inside the graduate program, which offer me the chance to work in different countries and meeting colleagues around the world. After working in M&A and Equity markets teams, I decided to focus my career in the credit field, specializing in arranging acquisition loans for large corporates and Private Equity funds.

In my current job, I advise clients in the process to raise financing in capital markets for companies exposed to a large variety of sectors. In my current job, I have a privileged seat to see how companies are quickly changing, impacted by innovation and digitalization trends.

Definitely we are living in a time of deep changes that are shaping tomorrow’s world!. I complement my dedicated job with an active engagement in ESADE’s Paris chapter since 2010. My tasks are to make alumni get to know each other and keep ESADE network alive. Last but not least, my friends usually tell me that I’m a passionate runner, a seasoned traveler and intrepid reader.

Eager for new international experiences I joined Société Générale inside the graduate program, which offer me the chance to work in different countries and meeting colleagues around the world. After working in M&A and Equity markets teams, I decided to focus my career in the credit field, specializing in arranging acquisition loans for large corporates and Private Equity funds.

In my current job, I advise clients in the process to raise financing in capital markets for companies exposed to a large variety of sectors. In my current job, I have a privileged seat to see how companies are quickly changing, impacted by innovation and digitalization trends.

Definitely we are living in a time of deep changes that are shaping tomorrow’s world!. I complement my dedicated job with an active engagement in ESADE’s Paris chapter since 2010. My tasks are to make alumni get to know each other and keep ESADE network alive. Last but not least, my friends usually tell me that I’m a passionate runner, a seasoned traveler and intrepid reader.

Lourenço Reynolds de Sousa

Hi, I’m Lourenço from Lisbon, Portugal but actually I’m living in Barcelona where I have just finished the Full-Time MBA at ESADE. My previous academic background is on Electrical and Computer Engineering and professionally before the MBA I have reached the position of senior project manager at Efacec, an Energy Multinational Company. Now I´m currently working at Tesla in a Business Development position to help the company on its mission of transforming the world into a big sustainable ecosystem.

As a person I can describe myself as being responsible, passionate, assertive, flexible, collaborative and friendly but also can get very serious if someone cross the line J

My prefer hobbies are staying with friends and discuss every day topics. I also love to play outdoor sports (especially tennis, sailing and running) and travel to new places in order to meet new people and increase my cultural awareness at various levels. I also like to be challenged and live new experiences.

Some interesting facts about my life: I’m the youngest of 6 siblings having a 25 years difference from the older and 18 from the younger.
With 3 Interrails I have visited nearly all Europe on a very limited budget. I have worked in Algeria during 4 years and spend a summer in Senegal and Gambia. I have walked the Portuguese “Camino de Santiago” for more than 100Km in 3 days.

As personal objective for life, I think we should always believe in ourselves and grab the opportunities life gives us to learn and grow at all levels. If we have passion and the right motivation I believe everything is possible!

While working in strategy consulting is quite time consuming, I always try to visit some new places in my free time, even on a short weekend trip. Barcelona is special to me, each year after graduation I come back at least once in the summer months. Being a ski lover, I'm used to spend a couple of weeks a year in mountains over the winter period. Professionally I advise clients mainly from retail and consumer products industries on the issues of strategic importance, focusing on customer experience and operations excellence.

Periklis Tsoulos

Board MemberMFI 09

Passionate about exploring and intrigued by challenge, after I studied in the business schools of 4 European countries I started building experience in management consulting and financial analysis of international projects.

I like crunching numbers and building business plans and financial reports. So far, I am working for corporates but partnering with start-ups and small businesses to explore growth opportunities would be extra inspiring. On the side, I love traveling and releasing all my energy left on my new hobby, squash.

Mrdjan Uzelac

MBA 2012

I am originally from Belgrade, and grew up in Yugoslavia, Germany and Canada. Different cultures have always been a key part of my life, which attracted me to ESADE in the first place. Now I am keen to foster the ESADE spirit in Hamburg by helping create a vibrant local alumni community.

I have been working for various technology companies in Canada and Germany for over 15 years. As a business developer I specialize in setting up strategic partnerships for software products and services, such as payment, accounting & HR, and ecommerce solutions.

I graduated in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, where I also completed a Master in German Literature. I moved back to Europe for the ESADE MBA which then brought me to Hamburg in 2012, where I’ve been since.

I enjoy discovering different places near and far, and especially the many things Hamburg has to offer - whether eating, socializing or checking out the many happenings in the city. I play tennis and the cajon, and try to sail and ski whenever time permits.

I work currently as Director Ventures and Intellectual Property, at Liberty Global, world´s largest international TV and broadband company.

From the Amsterdam office I am looking into Corporate Venturing investments mainly in EMEA with strategic added value for Liberty´s affiliates core business and responsible of the implementation of an in-house strategy on Intellectual Property in alignment with ventures investments.

Previously I have worked at large corporations and in/with private equity projects, media corporations, and consultancy/private legal practice, advising among others on M&A/PE/VC matters. I combined the "worst" of both worlds, business and legal.

After my degree in Law many years ago, my master in ESADE was the first trigger for my business appetite. Years later when already living in The Netherlands I studied an EMBA and continued with executive education in other schools but clearly ESADE was the pillar for my further professional and career development.
